Haha, I don't think they're that attractive either. I like how crazymc does theirs. But who needs turn signals anyways? Isn't that what arms are for?

Nice! I like it so far, the exhaust wrap is also a nice touch. I'd like to see what you do about your turn signals because I haven't found anything I like yet.

Cheers!

Thanks! I'm thinking I might stop by radio shack, pick up some superbright led's, and solder them to the existing turn signal wires. So you wouldn't even see them until they turned on.

Agreed that open look is a great look and one that I plan on doing as well when time permits. That or black it out cause that sucker just sticks out like a sore thumb. Nice job so far btw.
